Okay, it's nothing so exotic as a misplaced function pointer; we're just 
at a different point in main() from what we originally thought (line 
798, not lines 775-778).

Walking carefully through the stack trace, I can deduce that the failure 
happens when trying to encode the algorithm identifier within the 
paChecksum2 field of the PKAuthenticator. 
ktest_make_sample_pk_authenticator() doesn't intentionally include a 
paChecksum2 field, but it doesn't null it either.  So this is a 
straightforward use of uninitialized memory, obscured on other platforms 
because the pointer value happens to be 0 there.  (And asan/valgrind 
don't catch it, presumably because the memory was written to earlier 
within structures of different types.)

I will open a PR.
